3rd post from Tokyo

Today I've been feeling really sick, I think I have fever :/ And I've decided to upload all my photos when I get home.
This weekend was so much fun. On Friday we went to to a club called Atom in Shibuya. We had so much fun and came home at about 6.30 :) There were so many random dudes there and I laughed so hard sometimes. Also we got the mail address of a super cute guy, Sho, but I haven't mailed him yet. But he totally made the cutest faces ^^ On Saturday we woke up at probably 3 PM so we just hung around our apartment and started getting ready for a  night out in Koenji with our Finnish friends. It turned out though that 3 Japanese guys were to come also so we had so much fun with those guys. They played strip poker in the bar! I was wise enough not to but one of the guys had only his t-shirt on in the end :D lol. After the bar closed we went to eat sushi and waited for the bartender to finish his shift. Around 5 AM we went to a restaurant where he ate and some of us drank. It was a very random happening as he only knew Japanese and not all of the girls know Japanese :D I think it went well though :) We went to bed at 8 AM lol. On Sunday we didn't do much, just watched Iron Man and hung around. We went to bed pretty early because we were so tired and  on Monday we were going to go to Fuji-Q Highland. It's an amusement park pretty close to Mount Fuji^^ There we went to the Haunted Hospital. It's like a haunted house only it's an old hospital (creepy enough) with actors portraying crazy doctors and patients. I've never been so scared in my life when doing something out of free will. We screamed and ran through the thing and when we dashed out I slipped in front of everyone who was still waiting to get in. I heard a massive gasp from the crowd when I fell but M just grabbed me and told me to run :D We were so freaked out seriously. I got some minor injuries and bruises which I will upload photos f when I get home. I also rode the Fujiyama roller-coaster which is 79 meters high so with my fear of hights I'm pretty proud of myself ^
Today we went to Harajuku with Toru and the Finnish girls. It was so hot and I started feeling a bit sick already there but it hit me big time when we sat down in class and could calm down for a minute. When S&M get back we're going to watch Blair Witch Project if my head doesn't expload from pain. I'll write again!

2nd post from Tokyo

Hmm, I still don't have the pictures, they're on S's computer, sorry! But I could write about what I've been doing here :) On Thursday we went to karaoke and well it turned out to be a cosplay karaoke :D You could rent outfits like nurse, maid, school uniform... We didn't though :D We decided we need to be drunk for that :D Then on Friday we meat up with 3 Finnish girls to go drinking to Gellonimo. We had so much fun! We were in Gellonimo for about 2 hours and then went to the bar next door Oasis. In Oasis there is nomihoudai which means you can drink as much as you can for 3000 yen. Everyone were so drunk I spent most of that night talking to a host that worked in an ecchi club... I don't really want to know what that is but he texted me on Saturday and wanted to see me :D lol I didn't go :D And the he stopped texting me, maybe he got hurt...lol. And then yesterday we went to an amusement park in Asakusa with Nelly. We also saw some of the beautiful temples of Asakusa on our way to the amusement park.
On Wednesday we're going to see Halloween 2 in Shibuya and on Thursday we're probably going to Gellonimo because Tama-chan is working then. And Friday or Saturday we're meeting the 3 Finnish girls again to go party :D

1st post from Tokyo!

This is my first post from Tokyo! I've been having so much fun and I've already bought so much stuff :D But that's one of the things I came here for besides the obvious of seeing friends and learn Japanese :) I'll upload some pictures probably tomorrow or the day after that. The language course that started on Monday has been good so far. First I thought the level might be too easy for me but now it seams pretty good and I've been learning new stuff and revised some old things that I wasn't very good at.
This apartment is really nice although it has some weird gas installations that you need to turn on to get hot water in the shower. Well, I've managed to get it working so even if it's weird I can still manage :) 
Tomorrow we are going to go to sing karaoke and maybe meet S's boyfriend in Shinjuku. On Saturday we went to Nippori and M bought some fabrics and I bought two pairs of sandals. On Sunday we went to Harajuku which was so crowded and hot and I spent so much money in Sex pot Tokyo but it was totally worth it hehe  On Monday we went to check out the bargen sales of Shibuya 109 and again I spent some money but as much as in Harajuku :D Then we went to Shin-Okubo (just one stop away from Shinjuku on the Yamanote line) where our language school is. It was easy to find and is in the middle of the Korean area of Tokyo so there are a lot of Korean food places and shops. Yesterday we went to eat to a family restaurant and I had risotto.  
I'll write again soon :)

Heyyy

I'm leaving for Tokyo today!! The plane leaves in 5 hours so this is the last post from Finland :) I'm going to update some while I'm away but probably not that often (like I have been hahah) and I'll try tp upload pictures aswell. I'm a bit nervous but mostly excited, 4 weeks in the coolest city I've been to yet, with my friends studying, partying and shopping ;D (maybe not in that order haha) I've even managed to locate our apartment building with a little help from my friend GoogleMaps street view :D and that's because I don't have the adress yet :D
Okay, so I'll write more in Tokyo, bye for now!
